I think this is not allowed .. because it can produce resources or mibs potentially .. it was one of the "Grey" afk training . should find out if it is allowed or not just to be safe .
Its only if you are some how auto looting mibs that you will get in trouble. Otherwise all you get is worthless fish.
Been a while but pretty sure u can only get to a certain level from shore, 80 maybe? , then u need to be in deep sea, so a boat us needed, but like I said it's been a while since I fished.Thank you sir!
By the way, I'm looking to just leave this during the day while I work, is there a good macro that I should use to GM? Do I need a boat? Right now i'm at Brit docks just fishing away, just leave that on for hours?
That's probably safest. You could use a boat but you will probably get killed with all the new boat excitement. The other option is in one of the dungeons with water. But you will probably get pked there too.
If you are going to macro on shore, you will need to set it up so you walk along the coast (or water banks) when you get the message "the fish don't seem to be biting here" (using an "if, then" prompt). Resyncing the client is needed as re-targeting the water (even after setting it to "relative location") doesn't work. If none of this makes sense you will need to have someone meet up with you and go over all the things to set up with Razor (if that is what you are using).
It's definitely NOT like macroing hiding on a 10 second loop and walking away for 8 hours. It'll take a little more work, but you can set it up. The best way would be to simply do it on a boat. It would be easier to put in the command of "forward one" every 4 seconds and never run out of fish. Of course you will have to make sure the ship is on an "infinite" straight shot. The other problem is, of course, pirates and the oddball water elemental out there that will kill you when you are away.
When you go into Razor, under miscellaneous, there is an option to map "Resync client" to any button. When setting up a macro, you will find that after you move you will not be able to continue fishing (even when changing "absolute target" to "target relative to location"). Somewhere in your macro before casting again, make sure you add the resync into it and you should see yourself able to cast again to continue fishing.
I went offline a couple hours ago.
I'm sure someone, if nice enough, wouldn't mind helping you out from here
If still stuck tomorrow, I should be around to help you out if needed.
Good luck in fishing!
